I just installed Current on a HD in a USB enclosure. Although my undrestanding is the script is just intended for 14.2 targets, it seemed to work just fine. I did have a bit of a problem with lilo (/etc/lilo.conf not found) but that may have been because of not reading the instructions properly. Anyway, I was able to boot from BIOS, and all seems well.

I haven't however tried it out much yet, because I don't have a non-root user. Presumably Slack expects you to do that after installation.

I think I tried lilo -v at either just after installation, or on reboot. I'm afraid I don't remember.

Nothing to do with your script, but wireless internet is working poorly for me in current. I tried with wicd too, but it also disconnects after a few seconds - just as some users have reported with 14.2, though it works reasonably well for me, at least with Salix.

I tested video and see the same "tearing" and general jerkiness in 15.0 as in 14.2. This was using alien's vlc package, and his packages for the dependencies he lists.
